How do I configure cmd show arabic strings correctly?

回答1:

Change your cmd's code page to the encoding you're outputting:

chcp 1256

That 1256 is an Arabic code page for Windows If you're outputting in another encoding, just find them in the whole list of code pages and change 1256 to the identifier you want in the command.

Hint: UTF-8 is 65001

Note: To show other characters than ascii, Window's cmd's current font must be changed to Lucida Console in properties. It's weird I know... Windows :)

Hope this helps!
